The Ayalam was an Delta-class JV-7 escort shuttle that was used by the Ripoblus during the Sepan Civil War. During the First Battle of the Sepan system the Escort Shuttle was dispatched in an attempt to stop a seizure of Modular conveyor group Asbo, which contained war supplies including Imperial munitions, likely sold by Admiral Harkov who ironically lead the seizure. The Escort shuttle attempted to destroy Stormtrooper transport group Epsilon but was shot down by Imperial forces.
